THE SOCIALIST PLATFORM.
What the Radical Wing Of the Labor
Party Agitate For.

Labor being the self evident creator of
all wealth and civilization. it is but
equitable that those who perform all
labor and thus create all wealth should
enjoy the product Of their toll
But this is rendered impossible by the
modern system of production, which,
since the discovery Of steam power and
since the general Introduction of ma
chimes, is in all branches Of industry
carried with such gigantic means and
appliances as but a few are able to
possess.
The present industrial system is CO.
operative III one respect oniH, which in:
That not, aS in former times, the indi-
vldual works alone for his own account,
but dozens, hundreds and thousands of
men work together in shops, in mines, on
huge farms and lands, cooperating &C.
cording to the most efficient division of
labor, while the fruits of this co.opera-
tive labor are not reaped by the workers
themselves, but are in great measure
appropriated by the owners of the means
of production.
This system, by gradually extinguish-
ing the middle class Of people, necessari-
~ separates society into two classes. The
class of the wage workers, and that of
the great bosses.
1t brings forth as its natural out
growths:
The planlessness and reckless rate of
production.
The waste of human and natural
forces.
The commercial and industrial crises.
Tho constant uncertainty of the ma
terial existence of the wage workers.
The misery of the lahoring masses.
The accumulation of wealth in the
hands Of few.
These conditions, which under the
present industrial system cannot but be-
come more and more aggravated, is in
consistent with the interests of mankind,
with the principles of justice aud true
democracy, as they destroy those rights
which the Declaration of Independence
of the United States holds to be inalien-
able in all men: The right to life, liberty.
and the pursuit of happiness,
These conditions shorten and imperil
life by want and misery. They destroy
liberty because the economical subjec-
ton of the wage-workers to the owners
of the means of production Immediately
leads to their political dependence upon
the same sources, and finally Illustrate
the pursuit of happiness, which is never
possible when life and personal liberty
are constantly endangered.
In order, therefore, to abolish these
humiliating conditions, we strive To
introduce the perfect system of ro-onar-
atise production-tha is. we demand

THE POLITICIANS PRAYER.

Our Father-whethe in heaven or h
We hardly know
Look down-or up-to where we dive
And, while our supplications swell,
Thy gifts bestow
Give us the counting of the votes
On polling day;
Let none of our side turn their coats,
But send the opposition boats
Salt river way.
Let SANDER, malice, force and fraud
From this time fail;
But if such tricks should be abroad
Expose our enemies, o Lord,
Let ours prevail,
If vile repeaters throng the polls,
Their crimes betray
Strike terror to their guilty souls
Unless they bravely swell the rolls,
Who vote our way.
Give us. by honest means, success
In this great fight:
But if too strong the foemen press,
Let's save the State by crookedness
And call it right.

that the workers obtain the undivided
product Of their toll.
This being only feasible by securing to
the workers the control OF the means of

We demand
That the land, the instruments of pro-

property of the whole people; and
That all production be organized CO.

AT the last convention of the A. +. of

positive that Article s, Section 5, is being

end in but one way, and that the disso

bodies of any National or International

Robbery IN a Pullman Car

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2s.-Signor Cohen,
a well known diamond broker. horse man
and bookmaker of Chicago. was robbed
Of 800 in money and 5000 worth of
diamonds in a Pullman sleeper on the
Iron Mountain road last night, while on
his way from Memphis to Chicago. Upon
retiring, last night, Cohen placed his case
Of diamonds in an inner pocket OF his coat,
which he hung up in his berth. When
dressing this morning he discovered that
he had been robbed of the diamonds and
of 800 in money. An investigation
showed that the occupants OF the adioiu-
ing berth, who had watched Cohen's ac-
tons closely during the previous evening,
and who jumped from the train at South
St. Louis. leaving their tickets to Chicago
with the porter, were probably the rob-
bers. A description of the men has been
telegraphed to the police of all large
cities.
